The Case Is Hopeless.

With Southern family in New y York
tthheEe has been staying for some time a
young lady from the interior of the
State. She is of philanthropic turn
of mind, but her benevolent instincts
lately received a sad check. Fully con-
vinced that where there's will there's
a way she undertook to reform an old
colored servant of the family who loved
whisky mot wisely, but too we'll
George Washington jefferson was
from the Souf,' and in consideration
of years of faithful service the family
took no notice of his failing, but the
young lady tried persuasion, cajole-
ment, scolding, tracts, presents, and
everything else that good heart and
earnest purpose could suggest to in
duce him to abandon his Incorporate
habits. But it was all in vain. At
last, in fit of pardonable impatience,
she said to him one day:
Il declare, George. I'd give you a
thousand dollars II you'd give up I'll INK
ing
'Lor,' young MISS replied the old
incorrlgible, 'd'yo know what I'd do

Very Queer Law.

If a decision just made by the Su-
preme Court of Connecticut is sound
law, real estate on the banks of rivers
with tendency TO change the course
of their channels is a dangerous inyest-
ment for capital. The court holds that
rivers are natural boundaries, and
when they alter their course their func-
tions as boundaries are not affected by
their former relation to lands. That
no mistake may be made interpreting
the meaning of the court, the decision
gives forcible illustration of pos
sible result from the waywardness of
the river. "If," the decision says, "af-
ter washing away the intervening lot, it
should encroach upon the remoter lots,
and should then begin 20 change its
movement in the other direction, grad
ually restoring what it had taken from
the intervening lot, the whole, by law
OF accretion would belong to the remot-
er, but now approximate lot" Under
this statement of the law an owner on
the river front Is not only liable to see
his property gradually disappear under
his own eyes, but If it reappears subse-
quently 1t belongs, not to him, bat to
his fortunate next door nelghbor.-

A Feathered Mimic.

NJ. D'Orblgny, a traveller who was
passing through Guiana, in South A
merica, WAS, when encamped one night
in the edge Of wood, awakened 10y
what lie took 10 be the cries of man
in distress. He listened, and heard,
following each other in great rapidity,
what seemed to be scream Of terror
and despair, then supplication. and
then cry as of one dying. The travel
er leaped from his couch seized his gun,
and hastily woke his Indian guide.
Come this Instant - he cried.
There is some one being murdered IN
the thicket. Let us 90 to bis assist
ance."
Thereupon the cries were repeated
and the Indian listened. He burst into
a laugh.
"What do you mean ?" asked the
traveller.
THAT. sir" said the guide. us the
tion-tion bird, percbed on a limb some
where in the neighborhood. 1t is only
a piece of mockery. Presently you will
hear him laugh"
And then, in fact, wild shout as OF
laughter rung out on the night air.
The tion-tion is sort of South A
merican mocking bird, which has an
extraordinary gift of imitation. 1t is
also bird of great beauty of plumage.
1t is sometimes called the 'yellow-neck.
Its feathers are of lively colors and its
tail is brilliant and spreading. The
natives use it's feathers to decorate
their hats with on feast days and turn
their head-gear into golden crowns in
appearance.
The bird mimics almost every sound
he hears, ard initiates the speech of
men as successfully as the parrot does.
The inhabitants of Guiana assert that
he can initiate faithfully the accent of
the English, French and spanish. Nat
ural sounds and the cries of animals of
every sort he reproduces very cleverly.

THE ANARCHISTS HAVE NO
HOPE.
Preparations Being Made for the Ex'
ecution-Riot and Bloodshed
Expected.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-The sober Judge
ment of nearly every person in Chicago
whose opinion is worth anything is
that the seven anarchists in the county
Jail will be hanged November 10, ac-
cording to their sentence. Some few
think that the supreme court may
grant stay of execution pending ar
gument, but it would be hard to find
one whose expectation goes further
than that. There is nothing for the
supreme court to interfere about in the
case. The best lawyers in Chicago
haye said so. No one but few enthu-
siastic friends of the condemned men
dispute it. There is grim evidence
that the execution is certainly expected
in the quiet preparations going on in
the Jail.
State.Attorney Grinnell has showed
what he thought about the result of the
appeal. A thief had pleaded guilty of
petit larceny and Judge Baker was a.
bout to sentence him to the county Jail
for thirty days. Mr.. Grinnell inter
posed: In view of wha. is to take
place in the Jail Nov. H." he said, Il
prefer that this mans sentence should
expire before that time. because it is
desirable that as few prisoners as pos
sible should be in the Jail when such a
tremendous event takes place" Judge
Baker acceded and made the sentence
fifteen days. Soon after another Grim
inal was to be sentenced, and Mr..
Grinnel said:
Your honor, / am opposed to Jail
sentences at the present time. If it is
necessary that any prisoners should be
confined they should be kept in station
houses until after the execution takes
place, Noy. H."
1t is understood that as many pris-
0ners as possible will he taken from the
Jail between now and the time of the
execution. 1t shows that Mr.. Grinnell
is very confident that the sentence Will
be carried out, and the authorities are
not oyersure that the precautions they
have taken will protect the Jail from
assault on that day. There have been
good many executions in the Cook
county Jail, but it has never been
thought necessary before to keep pris-
oners away from it at the time.
Even the anarchists themselves have
no real hope that the execution of their
seven fiends can be prevented or de-
layed. George M. Sloan, the anarchist
leader. whom Mayor Roche refused per-
mission to speak on the execution
few days ago, said that he had given
up all hope, and fully expected that the
hanging would take place. The exc
cution will be followed by riot and
bloodshed,' he said, but it will surely
take place. The supreme court is so
completely under the dominion of the
capitalists that the judges will not dare
to interfere

THE GHOSTS LAIR FOUND
His Paraphernalia Consisted of Brim-
stone, Sulphur, Human Sculls, Etc.

BELvIDERE, n. j., Oct. 20.-The
excitement over the nocturnal rambles
of the eight-foot ghost, whose exploits
have been chronicled IN the newspapers
continues unabated. With a trusted
friend detective Edward Hutchinson
went to the place where the ghost
disappeared. Following up the banks
of the creek about half mile, he saw
something shine near the waters edge
on the opposite shore. Finding no boat
he and his friend waded the stream. and
at the foot of steep bank oyergrown
with shrubbery, they discovered a
small piece of phosph orous which shone
with sickly yellow hue, For some
time they found nothing further, but,
partly ascending the bank, they saw an
opening in the bushes. Throwing the
light of their bulls eye, they saw il
was small passageway, sufficiently
large for a person TO enter.
With a lantern ablaZe and revolver
cooked, Hutchinson went inward, his
standing guard outside. He followed;the
hole for about five feet, when it opened
into n natural chamber about twelve
feet high and six by eight feet in the
bottom. At last the retreat of the
''ghost" was found. A search was
then instituted and a most promiscu-
ons collection Of ghostly paraphernalia
came to light. First they saw small
oil stove, on which was boiling a pot
of herbs. By the side of the stove was
a large paper of birthstone, in fact
brimstonewas scattered oyer everything
Some had evidently been on the stove,
as Hutchinson said the place smelt like
the internal region itself. A package
of phosphorus, out Of which the piece
that led to the discovery of the den had
been taken was placed beside the brim-
stone. And then they found in a cor
ner lot of sheeting, several masks,
some women's dresses, an old pair of
trousers and two skulls. In one Of the
skulls stick was fitted.
The officers will get reinforcements
and try to capt ure the miscreant in his
den. 1t isalmost certain that it is some
half demented person who has been do.
ing some odd jobs about town.
THE ANARCHISTS HAVE NO
HOPE.
